This sample demonstrates how to create Amazon CloudFront signed urls using CloudFront Key Groups and CloudFront Public Keys.
- The admin user will invoke the rotate keys AWS Lambda when required.
- The rotate keys AWS Lambda will use the current symmetric key from AWS Key Management Service to call GenerateDataKeyPair which will be converted to PEM format
- The generated private key PEM is stored in AWS Secrets Manager to be used later when signing URLs
- The generated public key PEM is stored as a CloudFront Public key. The CloudFront Key Group is also updated with the new Public key.
- The admin user will invoke the sign url AWS Lambda to generate a CloudFront signed url for each file required by the end user.
- The sign url AWS Lambda will request the current private key PEM file from AWS Secrets Manager
- The sign url AWS Lambda will get the current public key from the associated Amazon CloudFront distributions key group and sign the url
- The admin user will send the signed url to the user
- The user will access the signed url through Amazon CloudFront
- Amazon CloudFront validates the signed url and access the Amazon S3 bucket returning the results to the user
- AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) 2.53.0 or higher
- AWS CLI for testing commands
- Git clone this repository
- From the root folder for this project run
npm cito install all packages required - From the root folder for this project run
cdk deployto deploy
- Once deployed the CloudFormation stack will create two outputs RotateKeysLambdaInvokeCommand and SignUrlLambdaInvokeCommand. These outputs are the cli commands to rotate the keys and to sign a url.
- The CloudFormation deployment will perform the initial key rotation by invoking RotateKeysLambdaInvokeCommand.
- To test the creation of a signed url please copy the SignUrlLambdaInvokeCommand cli command into your console and run. This command will produce an output with a signed url. Copy the signed url into your browser of choice to view the 'Hello World' example page via a signed url.
- The second output RotateKeysLambdaInvokeCommand can run via your console to invoke the key rotation lambda.
